A Story That OsgOodby Will Re
turn to Get Even.

turn to Get Even.
The latest from Osgoodby CIV. Gard
ner is that, contrary to general expec-
tation. he went to Buffalo and looked
his accusers squarely in the face, and
that he will now come back to Mime
apOlis to make his traducers swallow
their vile ISLANDERS. 1t is also reported
that he intends to pay his debts in this
city, but neither story receives the
credence that might reasonably be ex-
pected. The father of OSgOOdby is
prominent attorney in Buffalo and also
prominent Mason, and the story is to
the effect that he is very much incenSed
and very indignant at the stories which
have filed the papers since Inspector
AdSit failed to find his man. 1t is also
said the father intends coming TO Mill
neapolis to institute proceedings in
criminal-libel against certain publish
ers and also to begin civil suit against
the Star-News to compel it to carry out
the terms of certain contract with w.
Gardner Osgoodby. 1t is claimed that
he has never. received the Star-News
stock which was part of the cOnsidera-
ton when the News was closed out.
Since the departure of OSgOOdby,
every day has brought some new story
of the endearing methods by which he
raised money, all of them showing him
to be possessed of an eloquent tongue
and an almighty winning way

SWINDLING POOR MEN.
A Bogus Railroad Agent---Lock-
Up Alley Echoes.

George H. Walters, a well-dressed in
dividual, was before Judge Bailey,
charged by the license inspector with
operating an employment office without
q license, and was given the option of
paying 800 fine or going to Jail for
ninety days. From the evidence sub
mitted it appears that the charge pre-
ferred should have been swindling.
Walters came to the Faulty house Sat
urday, having previously advertised
that he wanted to hire 200 men to work
Oh the Louisiana IL Gulf railroad.
About twenty-five labOrerS were fooled
into paying him 50 cents each, upon
the assurance that they would be fur
niShed with transportation, as he had
two boarding cars at the Milwaukee
depot. A steady stream of victims was
pouring in when his operations were in
terrupted by the license inspector.

NOT WORTH MUCH.
That Is the Idea That Rev. S. Nj.
Crothers Has of the Bible.

There was a large attendance at the
meeting of the liberal ministers yeSter-
day morning at the study of Rev. Mr..
Simmons, of the Unitarian church.
Rev. S. NJ. Crothers, of st. Paul, pre-
scented the paper of the morning, en-
titled 1.-The Old Testament-What Is 1t
and Why Do We Study lt?'' The
speaker said that the Bible, as it is
taught, is infallible. He did not see
what constituted this infallibility, how
ever. as unfortunately there is no au-
thOritv to declare just what books COM
pose the true canon of the Scriptures.
1T rests" he continued, 'Only on
church councils which, after much
Wrangling. put the Bible together. The
worth of the Bible depends not on any
theory about it, but on what we may
actually find in it. Granted that it is
not infallible, and that it must be
studied on the same platform as other
literatures, it may yet be left Sublimely
above them. The question of the in
trinsic worth of the Bible has not yet
been reached. 1t does not matter who
wrote the different books. 1t is a human
book. This is a discovery which in
spires contempt only in the mind of one
who has no faith in humanity. The He
brew scriptures are the records of a
gifted race in its search after God. 4
literature whose central thoughts are
righteousness and worship. Then it
NAV be said that it was blunder that
men say that it was inspired by God.
IT contains not word of divine revela-
ton, only human aspiration? One who
believes that every good gift is from
above, and to whom the opening of in
telligence is itself revelation, cannot
answer so. The Bible must take its
place as part of the worlds literature,
but this does not mean that it is to be

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING.
Necessitated by Aid. Johnson's
Course Toward the City Hospi-


Course Toward the City Hospi-
tai.
Aid. E. NJ. Johnson's gag methods
which tabled a resolution offered by
Aid. L'Herault in the city council Fri
day, turning over the city hospital to
the management of the supervisors of
the poor, necessitated special meeting
of the board yesterday afternoon. The
hospital was completed and put in read
mess over week ago, but is lying idle
owing to the dilatory tactics of the in
tellectual giant from the Second ward.
The committee OH health and hospitals
had charge of the construction and fit
ting up of the hospital and it is emin-
emily proper that the board of super
viSOrS of the poor should have control of
it, but the aldeTman'S motion
to table cut off all debate. and the coun-
ell was compelled to act upon the reso-
luton without understanding the intent
with which it is offered. One peculiar
feature of the situation is that Aids.
Gleason and Gibson, who compose the
committee on health and hospitals, are
both supervisors of the poor, and inthe
event that the board has charge of the
hospital will have full knowledge of all
matters affecting its management.
Mayor Ames undoubtedly voiced the
sentiment of the board when he said:
Il am sure the council could not have
understood the resolution. This board
has charge of the city'S poor and sick.
The committee on health and hospitals
is simply to audit our bills and to re-
ceive and investigate any charges which
may be made. The committee on
police does not take charge OF
the police force. The legislature
has created a police commission to do
that work, and in the same way has
created a board of supervisors of the
poor to take charge of the care of the
poor and sick. If the city council is
going into the hospital business, all
right. 1t might as well be said that this
board has not the power to send the city
sick to the private hospitals we now
patrOniZe. / would suggest in order
that the council may understand the
matter, that a committee of three be APP
pointed to confer with similar COM
mittee from the council. will call
special meeting of the council for Fri
day afternoon. The two committees
can confer and submit a recommended
ton to the council, which can be acted
on at once"
The mayors plan was approved by
all present, and upon motion he APP
pointed Supervisors L'Herault. Sven
son and Tnigley as the committee.
1t was also decided TO increase the
committee on management of the hos
pital to seven, and the committee now
is: Supervisors CIoutier, Gibson, Sven
son, AmeS, Cooley, Gleason, GarveY.
